You can't compare Football v Rugby. Football is a global sport. Our team has near zero chance of winning a World Cup ever. Far too many Nations with bigger populations and people participating.

Rugby is a minority sport where few countries have any real interest and probably only New Zealand where it's the most popular sport in the country.

Wales are not the complete minnows fighting against the odds in Rugby and one day could win a World Cup.
You are correct in everything you say, except when it comes to the 5nations and 6 nations Wales are joint most title winners with England.
My point is, the bitterness shown between both sets of supporters toward each others sports. You dont get that in other countries, that play both games.
